BEIJING, April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VisionChina Media Inc. ("VisionChina Media" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: VISN), China's largest out-of-home digital television and advertising network on mass transportation systems and the leading provider of urban mass transit Wi-Fi, today announced that it has filed a Form 12b-25 (the "Form 12b-25") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to extend the due date by fifteen days for filing its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the "2015 Form 20-F"), and disclose certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company is unable to file its 2015 Form 20-F on or before the prescribed due date of May 2, 2016, as it needs additional time to prepare and review its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto, as well as to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. The Company's management anticipates that the 2015 Form 20-F will be filed on or before May 16, 2016.

As disclosed in the Form 12b-25, while the Company has not yet finalized its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 to be included in the Form 20-F, nor the other disclosures required therein as of the date hereof, it anticipates the following significant changes in results of operations from the last fiscal year will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements to be included in the Form 20-F. The Company estimates that revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 were approximately in the range of $78.5 million to $79.5 million, a decrease of approximately 24.4% to 23.4% from the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily a result of the Company's termination of certain unprofitable exclusive concession contracts related to advertisements in mass transportation systems. The Company estimates that net loss attributable to its shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately in the range of $19.3 million to $19.9 million, compared with a net loss attributable to shareholders of $31.1 million in 2014. The decrease in net loss attributable to shareholders was primarily a result of the Company's termination of certain unprofitable exclusive concession contracts related to advertisements in mass transportation systems.

The financial data presented above are subject to revision based upon the completion of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.
